## Message

```
Improve sorting of completion results (#7727)

This is an attempt to fix #5013 by doing two things:

1. Rank "obvious" matches in completions higher (see the code comment)
2. When tied: rank keywords higher than variables

Release Notes:

- Improved sorting of completion results to prefer literal matches.
([#5013](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5013)).
